Hi,
I believe you need another function. If you need only the maximal independent vertex set use “maximal_independent_vertex_sets()” function. https://igraph.org/python/doc/igraph.GraphBase-class.html#maximal_independent_vertex_sets Bests, Serafeim On 17 Jul 2019, at 15:43, yux1...@gmail.com<mailto:yux1...@gmail.com> wrote: Hi, I am trying to find out a largest independent vertex set for a graph that represents a randomly generated crystal lattice, then I came across igraph. My program is written with Python. I managed to get a list of the largest independent vertex sets using the largest_independent_vertex_sets() method of the Graph class. However, that’s not quite what I want. All I need is just a single largest independent vertex set, instead of a list of all possibilities. There are thousands of vertices in my graph, therefore it takes a very long time to calculate the complete list. I know it is a NP-complete problem, but I think generating just one such set instead of generating the complete list and then taking one from it would cut down the runtime significantly. I looked at the source code written in C but was kind of getting lost there. I am not sure whether this can be easily done by modifying the source code. Could anybody help me with this issue?
